What a great time up here in the winter wonderland. Over the past week all of our family was here at one time or another... sometimes even all at the same time.
The last few days have been steady snowfall... light and fluffy. Sally and I took a walk with the dogs out onto the lake ice yesterday during the storm and it was amazing.
The ice is already about 10" - 12" thick so it's perfectly safe for walking as long as you know where to stay away from. We typically go about a couple of hundred feet off shore most times until later in January when the ice gets really thick.
Yesterday we ran into some of our neighbours ice fishing - apparently the first time ice fishing has been permitted on the lake in over 80 years. We even got offered refreshments - some hot tea.
Here are some photos we took while on our ice journey.
